    Will roaming chickens find and eat discarded staples in the grass?

    Not quite, but it was distorted badly enough that we had to repair it. Whatever it was broke several of the welds on the wires and started to separate the wires. Unfortunately, I can't get a photo with the repair in the way.

    Will roaming chickens find and eat discarded staples in the grass?

    Chicken wire is thin and easily broken. They don't bother ripping through the fence staples, they just break the wire itself. :( I have a place where either a dog or a raccoon nearly got through the hardware cloth on my first coop.

    Will roaming chickens find and eat discarded staples in the grass?

    BTW, chicken wire isn't predator proof no matter how well secured. Dogs and raccoons can break right through it. If you're redoing things anyway you might want to replace it with 1/2" hardware cloth -- or just layer the hardware cloth over top of the chicken wire.

    Will roaming chickens find and eat discarded staples in the grass?

    Yes those smaller staples are a possible hazard since they're small enough to swallow easily. They're also too small to resist a raccoon's attempt to pull the wire off so the sooner you reinforce the better.

    Will roaming chickens find and eat discarded staples in the grass?

    Can you go through there with a strong magnet on a stick? Are you talking about the small staples from a hand-operated staplegun or heavy fence staples?
